WALL STREET LIFE.
The DemoraiIzIng Effects OF Speculation
Young Men.

Young Men.
Wall street life is demoralizing. II
uniits men for legitimate work and for
business requiring energy and hard
WORT The street IS surrounded with
temptations to gamble in other petty
ways, and especially to drink. The
Wall street gin-mills are numerous
and gaudy and seductive. A hit of n
few hundred dollars in n mans favor
tempts him to take drink of jubila-
ton. while loss demands the cup Of
consolation. Money Is made and lost
on so big n scale that young men espe-
cially are fascinated by the rapidity Of
the pace and the magnitude of the
business. There is temptation to
prodigality in cabs and in dinners and
lunches which is freely gratifed. A
young man who has spent year In
Wall street brokers' offices, who
makes $500 to-day and loses Si00 to-
morrow and makes 5000 the next, isn't
going to consider the value of $40 or
$40 bank note when his own pleasure
or comfort is under consideration.
When at the end of the year he finds
himself with hardly 800 to his name
he is entirely and absolutely untitled
for work, and he is more inclined to
put $40 in a bucket-shop with the hope
of making it S2O than to work on a
clerks wages. He has become inter-
csted in petroleum and grain, and
horse races and lottery tickets, and
matching half-dollars and draw-poker,
and work is very tiresome. He, in
short. is good for nothing. The down
town saloons are full of these Wall
street wrecks. They are on hand for
drinks. but are good for nothing when
there is work to be done.
On the other hand, the fast life Of
the street in good times especially.
helps along great variety of trade
The average speculator likes TO go to
the theater and the opera, and he
takes a jolly party with him as n rule.
The good effects of a Wall street boom
are felt in the shops. Retail dealers
say that they can tell when things are
booming by the way women spend
money-for large proportion Of the
money made gets around into the
pockets of the women. after all. The
man who has made n thousand dollars
in a day feels very liberal after dinner.
